Hi all, we are really struggling with a name for our second daughter and would love some opinions/suggestions please!

Our first is ‘Ottilie Sophia’.

I loved Adeline, Cecily (Cici), Ruby (Roo), Clara and Ophelia but sadly hubby won’t get on board.

We both like Zara & Elodie - He’s on the fence with Alba which is currently my favourite.

He loves Millie which I do like but don’t think it goes with Ottilie.

Any input would be appreciated…

I will never understand the “ it doesn’t go with …”
I have introduced myself to people for the past 50 odd years and have never once mentioned my siblings names , not once !
you can call your kids ottile, Bert and Francesca- louise literally no one will bat an eye lid

release yourself from the weird constraint of “going / sounding like a set ?? It’s entirely unnecessary

I agree with this - as an adult - but when the children are little you do list their names and those of friends’ children. If they are not along similar lines it does sound strange.

I knew a couple - through my husband’s work - who had little children in similar groupings to ‘Thomasina and Gary’. Each fine on their own but together?

I would stick with 3 syllables but would go for something less ‘ee’ sounding

Beatrice
Miranda
Rosamund

theduchessofspork · 28/12/2024 21:04

Maybe Emmeline, Millicent, Camilla or Melissa nn Milly? It’s a bit too nicknamey to go with Ottilie all by itself I agree.

I like Zara, but I think Elodie and Ottilie fall over each other a bit - it’s the double 3 syllables plus y ending - but Eloise, Elowen or Eleanor would all work

also maybe..

Flora
Christabel
Claudia
Francesca
Cecile
Marianne
Estella
Allegra
Serena
Cassia
Genevieve
Clementine
Rosanna
Edwina
Daphne
Marguerite (Margot)
Philippa (Pippa)
Annabel
Arabella
Fernanda
